Cape Verde Stun Uruguay Again to Claim Second Point

Cape Verde have written another chapter in their growing World Cup story, holding Uruguay to a 2-2 draw in a Group H thriller, according to Sky Sports.

The African nation struck first through a Pina free-kick that arrowed through the wall, silencing the Uruguayan supporters. But Uruguay rallied before half-time, with Araujo heading level and Canobbio flicking home to put the South Americans in front right on the stroke of half-time.

Yet Cape Verde refused to fold. A calamitous moment from Uruguay, with Olivera's careless square pass and Muslera's reckless charge from goal, allowed Varela to level again and seal a point that sends Cape Verde into the second round of Group H games with real optimism.

For Uruguay, a team with two World Cup titles to their name, the dropped points represent a genuine concern as their campaign gathers pace.
